Annual Cookbooklette Giveaway + Cookie Recipe!

Friends!

It's that magical time of the year... when I do my annual holiday cookbooklette giveaway! Every holiday season, I make a little homemade zine featuring some of my favorite recipes from that year. (Here is a link with instructions on how to make your own) Every year, I give these to my family, my friends, my yoga students, AND 30 lucky bloggie winners! This contest is open to everyone all around the world (except people who forget to leave an email or blog contact in their comment!)

This year's excellent edition is called Yum Town,

and that is where you will be headed if you win a copy!

Also! This year, the zine features a brand new recipe from yours truly, which I am very proud of: Spiced Fig & Marmalade Cookies

Most of the recipes in the cookbooklette are not actually mine, they're recipes from other people's cookbooks that I've fallen in love with. But, this cookie recipe is one I came up with - based on the flavors of one of my favorite Italian desserts called panforte. I took the spices and flavors of panforte, and put them into this delicious cookie. Let me know if you make them, and if you like them! :) I'm so proud of my recipe baby!

Here's the recipe ~ straight from the cookbooklette, so you get a sneak preview!

So, to enter - leave a comment on this post, and make sure to leave an email address if I can't contact you through your blog. I'll pick the winners one week from today, on Wednesday December 19th. Good luck!

Hooray! Consider my last comment on one of your old zine giveaways a trial run. I should have it down perfectly by now! ;)

I received a zine of yours waaaaay back when the Vegan Freaks board was still popular, and you offered them there. I didn't even know your wonderful blog back then, but I totally fell in love with all of your adorable drawings and favorite recipes. Crossing my fingers I win again!

Oooh I want to go to Yum Town!! These are so cute. I always love your drawings- you're so talented. I've got to make the recipe you posted too, especially as nobody eats marmalade in my house but we always have jars of the stuff for some reason...much better in cookies I think :)

I am a fan of panforte so my taste buds are ready for these cookies. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I have been following your blog for a couple of years and because of your enthusiasm we have been eating more vegan meals. Happy Holidays!

This is a great idea; love to make a zine for my non-vegan friends (if they can be called friends!) because they seem to like the vegan food they eat. Love to get Yum Town as well; thanks for the chance! (cbcdogs at yahoo)

Oh, I must get your latest and greatest zine! How sad would it be if there was just a gaping hole in my collection of your creative brilliance? Fingers crossed I don't have to contemplate that possibility...!

Ohhh my ...' I think I would jump up and down to hold one copy in my hands. I love your doodles and that's why I always come back. Great front cover!Best greetings from Germany (esp. to Snoopy :-))Lilian

I want one! I was inspired to make my own tiny cookbooklette, but I'm no illustrator, so it's mostly just nice type and hand drawn hearts and my favorite creations from this Winter. I can't wait to make your cookies, they sound amazing :)

I just can't believe that one person can cook such awesome yummy things!You must be a Cookie Fairy!Your friends from Alushta would like to come to SC and live at your kitchen in a case not to miss fresh-baked goodies!We also would like to get a cookbooklette!

Hi Amey, I'm vegan newbie and am so happy to stumble upon your blog in my search to find vegetarian and vegan resources and recipes. I'm amazed at all the beautiful and yummy vegan dishes you prepared and feel so inspired to make similar dishes for my family. P.S. I adore your drawings and sense of humor :). I would love to win one of your annual cookbookets. My email is twilight916@gmail.com. If you have any wonderful starter recipes books/sites that you would recommend for newbies at vegan cooking, I would love to hear all about it. Cheers!

I would LOVE to win a copy of Yum Town! Marveling at your cute drawings and baking tons of cookies – what a great way of spending my time during Christmas vacation! :-)Love from Germany, Katrin (Katrin.Schepers@gmx.de)

I'm scraping in at the last minute! I love your cookbooklette idea and I'm doing a similar thing for my parents this year- handwriting out my favourite recipes from the year to give them in a cute recipe tin. There are too many to choose from this year, my hand hurts already!

Your cookies sound great too, I love figs and pistachios together. I think I know what to do with the homemade marmalade I've got left over from Christmas gifts this year!
